  • Kingswood

    In-between tour stops, Kingswood have joined us on the pod! The Melbourne band are currently undertaking their largest tour ever, which boasts over 70 dates around the country, and are planning more as the year rolls on. They're also prepping for the release of their forthcoming record 'Home', which sees the band push their sonics even further and delve into a more country kind of soundscape. In today's episode, we're speaking with frontman Fergus Linacre about the songwriting on this new record, their tour bus Peggy, working with Eddie Spear, and what the next year holds in-store for them.

In today's episode, we're speaking with Meg and Jessie from the band about being influenced by bands they saw at Glastonbury, songwriting dynamics within the band, the origins of the group, and working for Party In The Paddock.
